(...) I agree with this part of your statement. I'd like to be able to connect other things besides motors to the outputs, and I've noticed that so far it appears as if you won't be able to daisy chain things like touch sensors on the inputs.

I bet they are regular motors, but the NXT senses back EMF to know how fast the motor is going. I wonder why they are so bulky, then... Also, stupid request: I hope the buttons on the NXT don´t take too much strength, because I don´t want to tear (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Umm sorry, I gotta work on my writing. Disregard the repetition of "also". Also :P, I wonder how long till they make a C language for NXT. I think there´s a thread on this I haven´t read. (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
